Benign finding什麼意思

"Benign finding" is a medical term that means a result or diagnosis that is not harmful, serious, or life-threatening. It refers to a condition or discovery that is non-cancerous and does not require immediate treatment or further intervention. Benign findings are typically monitored or managed conservatively, and they do not spread or metastasize to other parts of the body as cancerous (malignant) tumors can.

For example, a biopsy result that shows a benign tumor would indicate that the growth is not cancerous and may not require immediate removal, depending on its location and potential for causing symptoms. Benign findings are generally considered positive outcomes in diagnostic testing or medical evaluations, as they indicate that the patient does not have a more serious condition.
